Of hundred feet had rendered any salts

about the scene impracticable; but, for
tunately, the people who had gathered had
not su6icieutly recovered from the first
effects of the shock to prosecute their investi-
CATION beyond very narrow limits.
Still governed by the impetuous move
ments Of my ardent friend, soon found
myself following, with him, track, south
ward, across the plowed part of the field.
This track, when first seen, indicated q
person travelling in an ordinary walk.
and there was, so far, nothing peculiarly
obseryable In the footprints. They might,
apparently, have been made by any
one wearing q common coarse No. 8
boot or shoe. But some 200 yards away

rapidly, heard him exclaim: "Look, Gully
For Gods sake, look" was looking by
this time at the imprint OF the track we were
pursuing, where the culprit had stepped
upon the surface, smooth as glass, Of the up
turned mold, leaving as perfect an impress OF
the left foot as if it had been made in putty
prepared for the purpose. Every smallest
detail Of the sole and heel of the boot lay
there. And what added to the interest and
importance oft was the fact that there were
marks to distinguish 1t from 10000 other
tracks! In short, as Blake said: "If every
man in the county were to make track with
his left foot in this field, there would be but
one like this and that one would be the track
Of the left foot Of Dave Carr's murderer"
The boot had been ,mended. The weareI
had worn OF the sole exactly ON the ball oi

silver dollar, while the sole elsewhere ap
peared to be but slightly worn. The cobblel
in mending the boot had pegged thick

whereof was perfect In every detail, even Il

How Boston Captain Addressed King
Kamehameha.
Captain Stephen Taylor, of Boston, spent
good deal of time at Honolulu between one
voyage and another, and was always treated
as person to whom great deal of con-
sideration was due. He visited the royaI
family quite often, and was there received
6y his majesty King Kamehameha, who was
known as king Aleck" by the American
and English residents, on terms of absolute
equality.
One day there was state procession in the
streets Of Honolulu, and the natives had
gathered from all over the kingdom to do
honor to royalty. Among the crowd, and
Panama hat on his head, was Captain Ste.
phen Taylor. Presently there was q blare Of
horns down the street, and the head of the
royal procession came into view. Off went
the headgear OF such of the natives as had
any hesdgear, but Captain Taylor remained
Why don't you take of your hat, cap
tain 2" asked native who spoke English.
The captain vouchsafed no reply. But
presently, as the royal party drew near, an
Eng!ishman said to him:
Hadns Hn ..|S y9h 6a better # s mnooysg csptainf"
niger yet, and never will"
II was . rude speech, but not meant in
sultingly, quite evidently; for the next mo-
ment the royal party came quite abreast, and
Captain Stephen, still with his Panama set
nonchantly on the back Of his head, called
out cheerify to the King:
"Hello, Aleck ~
The King looked ali instant st the cap
tone:
Hello, Stevei''
And the cortege moved on amid the ap-
piause OF the crowd, convincing one Eng
!ishman that . Boston sea captain was at
least as great man as King of Hawaii

HE CLAIMS THAT HE SHOT HILL IN SELF DE-

made the following statement
My name is Calvin =. Graves. James
NJ Mcfarland and myself hired a horse and
express wagon in the city of Ellsworth,
Maine and started to hunt. We went to
Cherrytield. stopped there and got dinner.
While there We got talking about the deer
law. The game law in Maine reads as |
Iecollect it, that no man shall kill but one
moose between October LIST and January
lst, and he shall kill but two caribou and
three deer between those dates. A man
named Shoppe said that the wardens would
Kill my dog. We replied that we had the
dog to tree cartridges and not to hunt
deer. He said the wardens had thrown
poison the whole length of the road to
poison dogs. We started in the morning
for Flctcher'S brook, and we got there AT
about half-past two O'Clock in the after
noon. We were told again by several per-
sons that the wardcns would Kill the dog.
We spent a couple of DAYS in hunting A
Young man named McReavey told u that
the wardens were STAYING at his uncle :
house and that they would Kill the dog.

State While we were talking. one Of the
wardens, Niles. | believe came with his

an ordinary example of the hardness of

ductive soils OF the Aroostook. Mr. Per-
kins being en- route for Franklin started
from Clifton walking, in due season TO
meet the Franklin stage at Waltham. His
distance to walk being only about ID miles,
he arrived in Waltham at 80 A. NJ, and

He took the stage through to Franklin and
